Buying call

Buy the Atom 2 if you want DJI-like basics for less: reviewers praised its smooth, stable 4K video, 48MP stills, excellent AI subject tracking, sturdy build, much-improved controller, Remote ID support and about 32 minutes of flight. Skip it if you want safety sensors, because it has no obstacle avoidance. There's no internal storage, 48MP shots are JPEG only, and it can get pushed around by gusts.
